everyone assuminmg A-Rod will break it...well Griffey wasn't far behind A-Rod's pace at this sam age...anything can happen, I would put A-Rod's chances right now at about 68% of catching Barry...
I think Barry will take this record close if not to 800 himself....note at the press conference Barry wasn't talking about retiring either..... "I will be a much better hitter from now on" ...Bonds said shortly after...it sounds like his next goal is to possibly move over to the AL next yr and DH...he's also just under 100 hits shy of 3,000.

i dont know what its worth but if i had caught it i would be selling it as soon as possible while the hype is at its highest...in a few years this will just be another milestone baseball bc AROD is gonna obliterate this record...sportscenter showed a stat on bonds hr breakdown by age and from age 35 on he has hit 350 or so HR...AROD already at 500hr and he is only 32....
someone can bump this in a few years when arod blows him away :howdy:
note: i am actually a fan of bonds, i think the guy is remarkable...

I wish a camera had stayed on the pile in the OF the whole time........I also thought the police would be running down to that area to restore order but I didnt see any on the ESPN clip. Did the 5.0 rush in to start unpiling people? How about the fools who tipped it up and deflected it backwards.....I bet they are sick to their stomach. The guy that caught the ball looked drunk as hell to!
Baseball memorabilia experts have pegged the ball's value at $400,000 to $500,000. That's well below the $3.3 million fetched by Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball in 1998.
